Amitabh Bachchan & Ben Kingsley in TEEN PATTI
Bollywood villain Shakti Kapoor’s daughter Shraddha has reportedly completed work in a film called Teen Patti alongside none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself.
The film, to be directed by Shabd helmer Leena Yadav, is said to be a take on 21 featuring Bachchan in Kevin Spacey’s role as a professor tutoring kids in high-stake gambling.
I grew up in an atmosphere where I saw my father leaving early for work, having
odd hours and then to see the difference between him on-screen and the way he was off-screen. I found the whole process of becoming someone else fascinating!”,she saysAt 21, Shraddha has four years of theatre expertise behind her, and was also part of a dance troupe at Boston University. Besides, she’s honed her histrionics under the famed tutelage of Barry John.
Her father’s name might help her to an extent but after that, it’s her talent that would have to speak and Shraddha’s aware of that. “I am ambitious. I like to think and dream about the future,” she says. Considering the competition that lies ahead, would she be able to pitch in her best? Would she, for example, wear a bikini if the role requires it? “Nobody’s made that proposition yet, so I’ll consider that when it happens,” she says. Okay, but does she consider herself sexy? “Sexy?” she asks with a laugh, “We’ll let the audience decide that. Sexy’s not the way I would define myself. Moderately reserved, a little shy and very curious. But sexy? Nah!”
